Wet - Thursday Theme for this week

Let the rain kiss you. 

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. 

Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Best park pics...

This saturday I went to visit Texas A&M University at College Station, Texas. Its the alma mater of my brother. The 100mile drive to college from Houston was just awesome. I loved the country side of Texas. Here people has huge ranches which includes cattle and horses. I could almost remember all the cow-boys I have seen in the past.
"Shoot at sight for trespassing on the property" is the rule there... pretty scary though...

 Country side texas... every ranch has a small pond...which is really cute...

One of the parks in College. Its very beautiful... parents were having fun with their kids at this place... students were doing their assignments as well... I remembered "The Lawn" in our college. So nostalgic!!!

 The horses symbolize the vision and freedom of the country.

 This pond and park is located near the George Bush Public Library. After seeing this I could say this as synonymous to tranquility.

Another view of the park. Isn't it just great??
If you are in some part of Texas, do visit College Station and you wont regret it at all...

PS: I miss my college... I want my college days back!!!!

200th post!!!

4 years is a pretty long time for anything.
And for blogging its really good time.
The journey till now had been an eventful one. This space was totally new to me and wondered why should I even write. Now it has become such an obsession that without writing, I feel that some part of mine is missing out somewhere.
Made new contacts through blogging. Know some people who actually take some time and read my blog.

Thank you all for the support!!! And I m hoping to write something good in the coming days.

change is inevitable

Change is the most common word we use in our everyday life!!! It really depends on the individual as to how he can cope with the change. It happens at any cost and the reactions are completely left to the individual. If you are not able to accept it, life would be miserable. Based on the acceptance levels we can say whether its good for us or bad for us. I would just want to see the positive aspects related to the change!!! It might really take sometime but the end results would be fruitful!!!
I m not here to teach some lessons. I want to share some real experiences related to change. If you are living in a very comfortable zone with a complacent mode, bring in change. It might be related to personal stuff or professional stuff. Change shows us a new way to think and adapt in the surroundings. I brought in changes to my life recently and finding it really challenging to accept it.
How do you cope with the change, taking it in a positive way or negative way??

king of fruits!!!

In India, I think Mango is considered as the king of fruits. Its seen in market during the summer and comes in many varieties. I have loads of memories associated with mangoes. 

When I was young, there were a bunch of kids who used to play together during summer holidays. It included my brother, my sister, sravan, laxmi(sravan's sister) and myself. We always used to be seen together playing in park, cycling, having lunch together and stealing mangoes!!!! Now thats the interesting part...jumping into neighborhood house and plucking small mangoes and running away!!! It used to be totally fun. Our neighbors had 4 mango trees in their garden. At around 2pm, when everyone in the house used to have hefty lunch and snore, we made the plan - the deadly plan to steal mangoes :D
Laxmi used to stand near the corner of the lane and make sure to hint us when someone was coming through this route. Sravan and my brother used to climb the 6ft wall and walk like a cat near the tree. I used to stand on the otherside of the wall waiting for the duo to drop the mangoes across the wall. After collecting the mangoes we used to run as fast as possible to either our house or to Sravan's house.
Now the feast starts by adding salt and chilli powder to the mangoes. We shared the mangoes, cut them in pieces with the pencil blade we had. Then eat them with salt and chilli powder sprinkled on the pieces with mouth slurrping and tinkling taste buds!!!! The taste of the stolen mangoes is far better than the mangoes which were purchased. I guess its the enthusiasm thats added to the mangoes which makes them special. Those were the memorable days of childhood. That very next year, Sravan and Laxmi's family left Nizamabad. I really donno where they are now. I still remember their faces though a little fading.
I guess everyone has some or the other memory associated with the mangoes. Enjoy summer with mangoes of different varieties and cherish the moments!!!
